Saturday's performance followed a three-game stretch where he averaged 9.7 points while shooting just 21.6-percent from the field and 14.3-percent from three.

Leads team offensively Jones chipped in 19 points (6-12 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-4 FT), one rebound, five assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Sunday's 100-58 win over Jackson State.

Impact Jones continues to serve as the offensive linchpin for the Cyclones despite coming off the bench during seven of the team's first eight games. Ironically, his one start, which came on opening night, remains the only contest he's failed to reach double figures in scoring. Since that game, the senior wing has averaged 17.9 points, 4.3 boards and 2.7 assists across 27.7 minutes per contest.

Impact Jones was moved to the bench in favor of Milan Momcilovic, then proceeded to lead the team with 20 points over 29 minutes while also contributing five boards and five assists. Jones thrived as the sixth man last year for the Cyclones and looked much more comfortable Monday after posting just five points on 2-for-7 shooting in a starting role during their first game. Whether starting or coming off the bench, Jones will be playing a significant role for Iowa State this season as they like to match up the senior guard with Keshon Gilbert and Tamin Lipsey to deploy one of the most dynamic three-guard tandems in the country.

NOVEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting in game two Jones isn't starting for Iowa State in its second game of the season, per CycloneFanatic.com.

Jones contributed 14 points, four assists and four boards in 27 minutes off the bench as the Cyclones pulled away in the second half. The senior guard continues to play a vital role as one of the best sixth men in the country for Iowa State, who have earned their way into the Sweet 16 and have the guard play necessary to make a deep run.

Continues punch off bench Jones closed Thursday's 82-65 victory over South Dakota State with 11 points (4-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 28 minutes.

Impact Guard play is typically paramount to NCAA Tournament success and Iowa State's guards did not disappoint, with Jones, Tamin Lipsey and Keshon Gilbert combining for 43 points, 15 assists and seven steals. As he's done throughout the season, Jones provided this production as a spark off the bench, contributing 11, three and two of the aforementioned statistical production along with adding four boards and a block.The continued production of Jones, who has provided double-digit scoring production off the bench in 16 of his last 18 games, along with his fellow backcourt mates will loom large as Iowa State looks to make a deep run.

MARCH 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Double figures in 13 straight Jones produced 18 points (7-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and one block in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 68-63 win over BYU.

Impact Jones hit three triples on a 7-for-13 shooting night to finish as one of two Iowa State players to score in double figures. It was the 13th consecutive game Jones has reached double figures, despite coming off the bench for 12 of those contests, while the 18 points were the highest he's scored since Jan. 24 and matched his high-water mark in conference play. Over those 13 games, Jones is averaging 30.1 minutes, 13.6 points, 2.8 boards, 1.6 assists and 1.3 steals as he stakes his claim to the title of best sixth man in the Big 12.

Seamlessly fills in Jones produced 17 points (6-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, four assists and seven steals over 33 minutes during Saturday's 73-72 win over TCU.

Impact Iowa State has a strong argument that they have the best collection of do-it-all guards in the country. Jones started his first game of the season, filling in for the injured Tamin Lipsey, and the Cyclones didn't miss a beat. Jones posted a career-high seven steals while combining with backcourt-mate Keshon Gilbert to score just over 50% of the team's 73 points. Jones is typically the first man off the bench, but has proven when given the opportunity that despite playing third fiddle to Lipsey and Gilbert, he can produce when given the opportunity. The talented sixth man has scored double figures in points six times, posted 11 outings with three or more rebounds, eight with at least three assists and has seven games with three or more steals. As long as Lipsey remains sidelined, Jones has the capability to be a big-time producer for both Iowa State and fantasy lineups.
